in favor of increasing the city's minimum wage. then the unions got on board. they pledged $100,000. but the students didn't just hand off the fight. in order to qualify for the november ballot the campaign needed 20,000 signatures. within five weeks and with the help of the labor council the students had 36,000 signatures. and when they gathered in front of the statue on their campus, a san jose state alum and olympic legend john carlos and tommy smith, they raised their fists in the air, took off their shoes and marched barefoot to deliver the signatures to city hall. they didn't stop then! their coalition grew as churches and non-profits joined in the effort. and the silicon valley chamber of commerce also took notice. they started pouring money in against the campaign. the mayor of san jose was against it, the california restaurant association was against it but the students didn't stop. they kept on fighting. and they won. the ballot measure passed with 59% of voters making san jose only the fifth city in the nation to impleme

the only votes that count are in the bergs. >> hamlets. >> most americans live in cities. >> that's exactly what paul ryan said. we would have done well if it wasn't for the urban vote. which is most people. >> here's the rational for the moment. "anyone who voted for governor romney does not have any reflection of that vote in the electoral college vote. this is a proposal that's not party specific or partisan in any way. but just an attempt to have the popular vote reflected in the electoral college vote." i think the argument, and you can argument about the vote, they like to see it go popular. the idea is to get people to spend time in the big states instead of racing around the country. there are arguments back and forth, but this one has the look of partisanship. >> clearly this is partisanship. the republicans know they cannot win nationally in an honest election. if everybody is eligible to vote in this country, republicans never win. so they are looking for ways to control it. coral people in certain districts or keep them from voting. this is just an extension of that effort. >> t
